In Friends of the Faux
A long time ago, in a land far away, Sara and I spent a lot of time together in a basement in the wee hours of the morning. Sara and I competed for the title of “most opinionated” on the staff of the student newspaper. At least as far as entertainment was concerned.
And look at us now!

Food: Pasta
Web Site (besides TiFaux — don’t be a kissass): Jezebel.com
Television
The best show currently on television is: Battlestar Galactica
But my all-time favorite is: M*A*S*H
I’m pained to admit it, but the show I secretly love is: Bridezillas
Whose shit are you sick of?: Spencer Pratt’s — Shonda Rhimes
Most cherished childhood television memory: Watching Roadrunner cartoons with my younger brothers.
Which TV character/personality would you most like to have a tryst with?: Jim Halpert. Duh. Or Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.
Kill, boff, marry — Jack Shepherd (Lost), Peter Petrelli (Heroes), Michael Bluth (Arrested Development): Kill Jack, boff Michael, marry Peter. Because that way I can accidentally kill Peter and marry Nathan.
Kill, boff, marry — Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother): Kill Alyson/Lily, boff Starbuck, marry Heidi. I bet Heidi makes a mean spaetzle. And she certainly won’t be eating any.

That sounds vaguely dirty…I was just telling Katie’s roommate Kate the other night about your “What would Bea Arthur Do?” posters. She’s your new biggest fan.
Wow. I have no memory of these alleged posters. That must’ve been senior year. The only image I recall from August 2001-May 2002 is the bottom of a mug. There may have been some classes thrown in.
Actually, the only posters I do recall were the Rob/Jason Priestly split screen and the Jesus-as-”That-Guy” parody, “That Savior.” Oh my. Good times.
sara, your favorite movie is seven brides for seven brothers. right? that is like my favortie endearing factoid about you! don’t take away from me.
It is, yes. They share the top spot in my affections. Which is why it is so awesome that we’re going to see Stanley Donen on Saturday. Yay! Dancing!
Dan: Hee. I believe Justin Timberlake may have also been involved, because he and Rob totally had the same hair back then.
I’m imagining a West Side Story with the Seven Brothers as a third gang or perhaps the Sharks intruding on the Barn Raising…
Addendum: Who wins a fight? Jets, Sharks, Brothers.
I’ve gotta say the Sharks just slaughter all the white guys.
I think the Brothers win with their cunning use of lumber.
